Andrea Galvani - The End [Action #1] (2013-15)
“The End [Action #1], an Art in General New Commission, is a site-specific, multichannel video installation documenting one collective action, an homage to the heliocentric model of our solar system championed by Galileo Galilei, father of modern cosmology. Over the course of months, Andrea Galvani coordinated with local cameramen to film the sunrise along the eastern coastlines of five different Central American countries. On January 8th, the anniversary of Galileo’s death in 1642, the event was filmed in over 30 different locations simultaneously. Discrepancies between atmospheric conditions, the sensitivity of 16mm film technology, and the movements of each individual manifest as a prism of time and space. The architecture of The End [Action #1] was conceived as an ephemeral monument — pedestals of light designed to be used by seven vocalists whose voices activate and enliven the space at different times throughout the exhibition.”
Laurent Millet: Somnium, 2013-2015
“Laurent Millet fait appel ici à une technique historique que nombre d'artistes redécouvrent (on pense à Sally Man par exemple) : prises de vue sur plaque de verre au collodion montrées ensuite en ambrotypes ou en tirages papier (encre charbon, platinotype ou jet d'encre (format 17X22 ou 40X50). L'effet est radical : nous sommes face à des images en dehors du temps.

With a nature documentarian’s eye, photographer and sculptor Thomas Jackson builds and photographs swarms of mundane objects. Plates, glow sticks, cheese balls and cups seem to float and flutter in uniform formations, mimicking the patterns of delicate hummingbirds and butterflies. Jackson seeks to minimize the role of digital editing in his work; he builds and hangs the arrangements of objects in natural settings, only using Photoshop to remove the evidence of the sculptures’ skeletons.
